Volume VII Chapter 945 The Recovery Plan
readx;
At a time of sudden change in the western Pacific, the Israeli political axe suddenly accused the Syrian army of deliberately destroying water sources in the Golan Heights and affecting the Israeli people's water supply, and announced that in order to maintain the normal water supply of the Israeli people, it would send troops to 'protect' the source of life for the Israeli people.

Then, under the cover of the air force, a large number of Israeli troops reoccupied part of the territory of the Golan Heights that had been returned to Syria, and they seemed to be preparing to occupy the Golan Heights in one fell swoop.
The Israeli army's actions made the Syrian political axe very nervous, and it hurriedly raised the alert on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, and some military forces in the rear also carried out temporary mobilization to guard against a possible invasion by the Israeli army.
In East Africa, Ethiopia and Kenya announced that they would conduct a small-scale military exercise along the border, aiming to strengthen exchanges between the two countries and contribute more tacitly to peace and stability in the East African region.
For a time, the whole earth was full of gloomy winds, and a world-wide war was about to break out in the next moment.
Although many people can see it, all of these sudden outbreaks in one day have one thing in common: the regions where the events broke out were related to the OECD member states. Needless to say, many people can see that this is clearly a strong counterattack against the Third OECD.
In this world, apart from the West, led by the United States, there is simply no force that can do this.
Third, the OECD is also overshadowed by everyone's minds, and although meetings at various levels are frequently held, there are different opinions within the OECD on how to resolve the current series of conflicts.
Third, OECD member countries were originally established because of common interests and needs, but when it comes to their national security, the differences that are 'covered' by common interests are exposed.
Both North Korea and Syria wanted to repatriate their fighters from the main force of the joint air force, but three other countries stopped them. But everyone understands that it is impossible to rely solely on treaties to prevent other member states from protecting their own national security.
There must be a solution and a way to effectively solve the problems that everyone is facing.
At this time, the Somali General Staff came to the Somali General Staff with a plan for preemptively attacking and taking the initiative, and the political axes of the five countries had no choice but to shift their attention to this plan when they realized that it would definitely not work on their own.
…… On 19 February, only two days before the Security Council voted on the 'proposal' submitted by France and other countries, the international situation had become more tense, and there were even small-scale exchanges of fire on the Korean Peninsula and in the Golan Heights, casting a shadow over the hearts of the Third OECD countries.
At this time, Li Mo came to Garowe, the capital of Nugar Prefecture in northern Somalia, to inspect the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Northern Military Region here.
The 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade is one of the elite mechanized units in the Somali Defense Force, which is composed of a tank regiment, two mechanized infantry regiments, a rocket artillery regiment, an air defense battalion and a helicopter formation composed of 6 'Sparrow' helicopters, etc., with a troop of more than 4,000 people, equipped with advanced 'Defender A' tanks and Lion King series infantry fighting vehicles, and is undoubtedly the first-class army unit in East Africa.
Of course, Li Mo was not idle and bored when he came here to inspect the work, and he was secretly talking with Brigadier General Ali of the First Infantry Brigade in an office.
"General Ali, I wonder how the 'Liberation Plan' is going?" Li Mo lit a cigarette and sat in the seat of Brigadier General Ali on weekdays, looked at a black general in his thirties sitting on the chair opposite and asked.
For such an important combat unit as the First Mechanized Infantry Brigade, the commander must be the descendant of the lineage, such as Brigadier General Ali, who followed Li Mo very early, when he was still a Palamin Cooking Army, Ali was the commander of the guard company of the Camel Mountain Base, and now he has risen step by step to the position of the commander of the First Mechanized Infantry Brigade, in addition to ability, it is also related to the identity of the 'descendant'.
And the 'recovery plan' in Li Mo's mouth was a plan that Li Mo had secretly arranged a long time ago, but he never thought that he would actually implement this plan so soon.
The plan had only one element, and that was to recover the Ogaden region, which had been annexed to Ethiopia by the British in the 19th century, the territory that Somalia had hoped to recapture but had failed.
Looking at Somalia on a large map is like a '7' written diagonally, and the Ogaden area is the recess where the '7' turns.
And it was Brigadier General Ali who prepared for the 'Liberation Plan', because the reason why the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade was deployed to this place was because of this plan.
The Ogaden region is currently adjacent to the Somali Capital Military Region, the Northern Military Region and the Somaliland Military Region, and the brigade-level combat units of several major military regions have also been deployed to this first sector in recent years. At present, in addition to the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade and 1 Infantry Brigade of the Northern Military Region, there is also the 4th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Capital Military Region, and the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Somaliland Military Region is no more than 500 kilometers long and less than 100 kilometers deep on the border.
"Commander, in the past two years, we have sent soldiers to disguise themselves as ordinary merchants and even herdsmen to go deep into the Ogaden region, and we have now made it clear how many lice there are on the old lion on the opposite side. In this area, only one of the Ethiopian mountain regiments is a regular army, consisting mainly of herders in the first district, and there are also about 500 border guards, and if you order it, we can cut this area from Ethiopia by sending a mechanized infantry regiment along the road. However, if we want to completely occupy this place, we will need at least two infantry brigades and the support of special forces and helicopter units. "Brigadier General Ali told some of the preparations and plans for the 'Liberation Plan'.
Ethiopia is mostly a plateau, which is conducive to defense and not conducive to attack, but Brigadier General Ali has trained his troops in the past two years, but the first mechanized infantry brigade is a mechanized unit, and it is suitable to fight in the Ogaden area, but if it goes deeper into Ethiopia, it needs the assistance of conventional infantry units, and special forces are also very suitable for fighting in such a mountainous plateau. As for the 'Sparrow' helicopter, it originally existed for the purpose of fighting guerrilla warfare and counter-guerrilla warfare.
"Three brigades are too many, I can only give you two brigades, in addition to the first mechanized infantry brigade, the 9th Infantry Brigade of the Somaliland Military Region will also cooperate with your actions, the helicopter battalions under the command of the Northern Military Region and the Somaliland Military Region will be transferred to you, and the 'Black Hole' special forces will also be on standby. As for the Air Force, you have to figure it out for yourself, there is so much I can give you, and I only have one request, which is to retake the Ogaden area in two days and keep it firmly in my hands. Li Mo stood up and paced with his hands behind his back, and after thinking for a long time, he turned his head and looked directly into Brigadier General Ali's eyes and said.
The Ogaden region is not a joke or a rash move, but Li Mo wants to set an example within the Third OECD and let other member states understand that the small actions made by the Americans behind their backs are not worth it, and that these little bugs who are waving their flags and shouting behind the back of the United States can be crushed to death with three or two actions.
While cheering up other member states, it is also a deterrent to those countries that cannot see the facts clearly, don't think that with the support of the United States, they will act perversely, and once they really come, they will be exposed and find that they are nothing.
"Commander, promise to complete the mission!" Brigadier General Ali said loudly with excitement on his face.
Li Mo left Garoway with his front foot, and Brigadier General Ali began to act with his back foot.
At about 18 o'clock in the evening of the same day, the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade of Somalia suspected that a soldier of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment was missing, suspecting that the soldier had been secretly arrested by the Ethiopian border guards and wanted to forcibly enter Egyptian territory to search.
Half an hour later, the ground shuddered, and a rumbling roar could be heard in the distance, and the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment of the Somali 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade led the way to the border with 12 Defender A tanks and 48 infantry fighting vehicles.
The Ethiopian border guards were shocked and hurriedly sent people to question, but a Somali second lieutenant did not explain, and directly issued an ultimatum to the Ethiopian border guards, claiming that if the Ethiopian border guards did not hand over the secretly arrested Somali soldiers within 15 minutes, the Somali side would forcibly enter Egyptian territory to search for the missing soldiers.
The commander of the Egyptian border troops hurriedly protested loudly, but when he saw the indifferent face of the Somali lieutenant, his heart suddenly burst and he hurriedly reported the news to his superiors.
It was soon reported to the Ethiopian Defence Forces General Staff, where the Chief of Staff, Major General Zamora, ordered the mountain regiments stationed in Beliciad to reinforce the border at the border of the incident, and ordered the border guards to prevent the Somali troops from entering the country anyway. Then Major General Zamora rushed to the presidential palace to report.
At the beginning, the United States asked Ethiopia and Kenya to create some tension in the Somali border area, and Major General Zamora very much agreed, and Zamora has always looked down on Somalia, a country that once allowed Ethiopian troops to enter and exit, although Somalia has frequently appeared in the international community in recent years, and there is a growing trend of being the 'first power in East Africa', but the more this happens, the more dissatisfied Major General Zamora is with Somalia. He always believed that Ethiopia was the most powerful in East Africa.
Ethiopia has nearly 200,000 regular troops, while Somalia, after several cuts, has an army of only 50,000 people, only a quarter of Egypt's, how can it be the opponent of the 'East African Lion'?
But he didn't expect that as soon as he announced a border exercise with Kenya, Somalia would come to such a hand, which was not a countermeasure at all, but Chiguo's preparation for war.
Major General Zamora didn't know what kind of emotions he was feeling at this moment, and there was a hint of excitement in his nervousness, if he defeated Somalia, would it prove that Ethiopia was still the first power in East Africa? He Zamora will once again be Ethiopia's hero.
But just as he felt in front of the gate of the presidential palace, he received a phone call that really changed his face: the Somali army had crossed the border.
